Abstract
Microsomal membrane isolation from cell culture
harvest cells
harvest cells
harvest cells by detachment with TrypLE Express (Gibco, 12604-021)

pellet cells by centrifugation (5 min, 400 gavg, 4°C)
wash cell pellet in phosphate buffered saline (PBS, Sigma, D8537-500ml)
pellet cells by centrifugation (5 min, 400 gavg, 4°C)
lyse cells
lyse cells
resuspend pellet in RIPA lysis buffer (Thermo Scientific, 89900) supplemented with protease inhibitor (Sigmafast, Sigma, S8830-20TAB)
incubate 30min on ice
centrifuge lysate (10min, 100 gavg, 4°C) to pellet and remove nuclear fraction
collect supernatant to continue isolation
isolate microsomal fraction
isolate microsomal fraction
centrifuge supernatant from previous step (10min, 15 000 gavg, 4°C) to pellet the mitochondrial/lysosomal fraction
collect supernatant to continue isolation (pelleted mitochondrial/lysosomal fraction can be stored for future analysis)
centrifuge supernatant from previous step (35 min, 200 000 gavg, 4°C) to pellet the microsomal fraction
resuspend pellet in sucrose (0.25 M)
for Western blotting prepare samples with 20µg protein with 4x LDS loading buffer (NuPAGE, invitrogen, 2399420)
